Recording & editting on Audigy

Hi everyone,I am new to this forum and audigy 2zs.. Could anyone out there explain me if my sound card Audigy 2ZS is compliant with XP Vista 64 bit, does not?even matter to me as long as it supports it as a 32 bit. I just want to make sure that drivers & applications are working to there full potentials 'cause I noticed some yellow marks in the device manager as "unknown device".2. Does this card offer multiple physical inputs (sort of muti track recording adjustments or editting) or have options to edit'sinputs individually on mic ( to add echo & effects) as well as strip vocals from? the source music. In simple terms I want to be able to download a song from online or play it through the source, strip vocals or depress it to the minimum levels and add my voice to it ( sort of karaoke ). But the dilema is that I want to add effects & echo to my vocals only while not corrupting the actual music in the background and I would like to have an option to listen to?it the way it's been recorded?so that I can adjust the background music and my vocals while it's been recorded.Please help, any gesture would be highly appreciated.

DarkJon64,
Creative Surround Mixer is the master volume control for most of our sound cards. This is included on the installation and application CD and should be installed by default. You can usually find it in the start menu section for your sound card.

Captivate 5 freezes up any time I try to record, edit, or import audio

I'm using Captivate 5 to create a CBT. When I try to record, edit, or import audio to the slide the program just freezes. When I end the program through my computer's task manager, it says that Captivate is waiting for a response from me. I can not click on anything after I select Audio > Record > Slide. After I reopen the Captivate I can access the Audio Settings with no problem however. Why is Captivate doing this and how can I fix it?

OK. My next guess would be that there is some corrupted element in your project that is preventing compiling from successfully completing.
Next thing to try is use a process of elimination to locate the offending object.
First try copying and pasting all slides from your problem project into a new blank project. This will rename all objects in all slides and strip out any Advanced Actions, but if your issue is due to either of those, then it should immediately be able to compile.
If that doesn't work, try hiding all slides and just unhide them one at a time to see if it will compile. If you go through your project a few slides at a time, you may eventually find the offending slide and then whittle it down to the offending object.

How to perform simultaneous multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 P

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are comming from the Uni'versity of Maribor, Slovenia. We recently buyed an Audigy 4 Pro Sound Blaster for our studio recording purposes. Here is the description of the problem:
We would like to record the speech database which will be used later to perform text to speech sinthesis (sampling rate of 96kHz, 24-bit resolution). Therefore, we need to SIMULTANEOUSLY record the stereo signals from 2 microphones located at different distances. That is, for each microphone we would have two channels which resulted in a requirement of recording 4 channels symultaneously!!!
We succeded to record the signals from either first or second microphone separately, but we couldn't record the stereo signals from the both microphones simultaneously!!! Namely, in the Creative mixer there is possible to select ONLY one recording input in a time. But we need to record the signal simultaneously from two inputs.
Our question are:
. How can we perform simultaneous, multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 Pro using two stereo inputs (e.g. from Line In and Line In 2 inputs)?
2. Which -from Creative recommended- recording software supports this multritrack recording? Namely, the recordings from the two microphones should be aligned in time as much as possible.
Thank you very much for your help!
Altair

Hi
You need recording software (Cubasis (not sure), Cubase, Sonar, etc.) which supports
ASIO drivers and a 'multichannel' microphone pre-amp/mixer to get microphone(s) connected
'separately' into Audigy Input's.
ASIO driver gives more 'Input sources' to choose from compared to WDM's one stereo/2 mono
channel capability.

- AFAIK, none of CT player software supports Record as FLAC
- Rip w/ EAC to WAV format - http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/
- decode to FLAC : http://flac.sourceforge.net/
#2 - If NX supports ASIO/KernelStreaming then Winamp w/ ASIO or KernelStreaming opuput plugin maybe gives the best SQ you can get from that card
#3 - yes, it should be possible but, I don't know how's the ripping then (i.e. do you need to record then instead of just copying bits)

Recording Options with Audigy

Hello:?I have recently purchased and installed an Audigy SE card into a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition.
Does this card support a "What You Hear"/ "Stereo Mix" recording option?.
?I?purchased the card?as an?upgrade from my on-board sound processor, as the Vista drivers available for it'sdo not work properly. I previously used my system under Windows XP Pro to broadcast as an internet DJ and this option is necessary for me to contine. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank You.

I recently upgraded my XP system with Audigy SE to Vista and found that I could no longer record from the stereo mix. Here's what I did to fix it.
I went to Control Panel, Sounds, and under the Recording tab I right clicked and selected Show Disabled Devices. "What U Hear" showed up, but even after enabling it, it still said "Not Available". So I went to Creative and downloaded the latest software/driver pack for Vista 32-bit (dated 9 Jul 07) and installed it. After installing and rebooting, I went to Control Panel/Sounds again and tried to find "What U Hear". It was not there at all, even after telling Vista to show all disabled devices. No stereo mix, no nothing. Nice update.
So I kept the new Audigy software installed but I rolled back the driver to the original Vista driver, which was dated Feb 2007. I went back to Control Panel/Sounds and lo and behold, "What U Hear" was back. However, it was still labeled as "not available". So now I did another reboot.
I went back to Control Panel/Sounds and looked for "What U Hear", and this time it was available. So I selected it to be default and loaded up Sony SoundForge to give it a test, and it worked. I could record from the stereo mix by selecting "What U Hear" in Soundforge as my recording device.
So, in summary, the July 07 Creative update for Audigy SE in Vista 32-bit seems to be missing this key capability, for whatever reason. However, the built-in Vista driver for Audigy dated Feb 2007 does allow it. By coincidence, Creative also has a Feb 2007 driver update listed in their downloads -- is this the same driver supplied by Vista? I don't know. Maybe it is, but now that I have things working, I'm not going to mess with it to try and find out.
So my advice -- get the latest software pack from Creative but use the February 2007 Vista driver, or try the Creative February driver.

How to make few records editable in oracle ADF form.

Hi,
I am working on one scenario. here, we are sending few records to user in an ADF task form, using BPEL Human task. Now, the requirement is to put a checkbox in each row and enable that particular row-fields for editing purpose.
please respond if there is a way to put any condition in check box design to enable row-data for editing.
thanks,
rps

Hi,
actually to implement check boxes in front of a table you need some sort of transient field that can keep persistence. One way of achieving this is to wrap the BPEL service in a WS proxy client and create a POJO DC from it. This then allows you to add an additional field to implement a solution similar to this in ADF BC
http://sameh-nassar.blogspot.com/2009/12/use-checkbox-for-selecting-multiple.html
Because ADF Faces tables are stamped upon rendering, rows arent created with instances of the cell renderer. For this reason you need to keep track of the select state in the model, which you can do using a transient attribute, which then makes sure the select information is part of the row object. So similar as today, you would parse the available rows but - before changing the update state - check if the user intended the update

Voice Over Recording Edit view vs Multitrack View

Hi Guys, need some advice here.
I have always recorded Voice Overs in edit view with Audition 3.0 (Windows 7 64bit)
Recently I purchased a Creative sound card (X-Fi Titanium HD) which sounds great and records 24/96Khz with great results using several different microphones, mainly a EV RE20.
I have the main outputs of my mixer left and right coming out using 1/4 inch cables and going into the soundcards Aux left and right inputs via RCA..
In Auditions audio hardware setup edit view, there is only a choice for either Aux left or Aux right but not a mix of both as a input. (using Aux left)
Not using the mic input on the card because I wanted to use the RCA ins (Left/Right) on the soundcard and the mic input is a single 1/8 input which would require another Y 1/4 to 1/8 cable and the fact that I have had issues with 1/8 inputs before.
So, when I record Voice Overs in edit view, I think I"m really getting only half the signal (Aux left) which means I need to up the gain on the preamp more than I would like to get a good level.
Recently, I have been recording in multitrack view using Track 1 Aux left and Track 2 Aux right and then doing a mixdown to mono which results in a nice strong level without having to boost the gain to much.
So I guess my questions would be am I in fact only recording half the signal in edit view by just using Aux left
and if that is true, should I just continue to record in multitrack view using the setup I decribed above.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have always heard that if you just raised the level using gain you take the chance of also introducing more noise in the signal and I was wanting to avoid that.
The short and sweet answer to this is that once you've recorded the signal, the amount of noise is fixed. But what you have to do to optimise this is called 'gain staging'. In the case of your preamp, this invariably means that you set the gain so that the clipping indicator (I take it that it has one?) indicates that you've got it just lower than it takes to light it on the loudest sound you want to record. With these signals present, you then set the input level control on your sound device (not the same as gain) so that it records these signals at around -5 to -10dB, in a controlled environment. In a non-controlled environment you'd allow a bit more than that. This gap between the -10dB and 0dB is called 'headroom'.
So basically, you are recording the best signal to noise ratio you can get from your preamp at the best level you can with your sound device. And that, by definition, is optimum.

Want to record edit and burn dvds of videos from canon camcorder what is the best way

what is the easiest way to transfer recordings from my canon camcorder hd to dvds after editing. The new imovie does not have idvd on it to burn dvds.

I'm assuming you're editing in iMovie? If you still have an older retail version of iLife, you can use that to install iDVD - I am using it with mavericks. Or, the retail 09 and 11 iLife disks are still available at some online resellers. The best thing out there still is iDVD with its customizable menus, themes, etc. However, there are other options for just burning: one good ons is Roxio Toast; then there is the free app Burn (basic I'm told, but works). Or google for others. Personally, I'd get iDVD.
The new iMovie (or the older versions) did not have iDVD built in - it's just a link to the iDVD application. FWIW, I prefer to use the older iMovie versions because they have more quality options to choose from when exporting. With the new iMovie, choose to export to file and choose your recording size and then you can drag that file into a burning app (or iDVD if you get it).

Record/Edit in AVCHD or other?

I was just thinking... Until I actually have a BluRay burner, why would I record and edit in AVCHD?
Would it be quicker to edit in FCE4 to edit in (recorded) SD or should I record in the highest quality HD setting and then burn in standard DVD...
D

Would it be quicker to edit in FCE4 to edit in (recorded) SD or should I record in the highest quality >HD setting and then burn in standard DVD...
As a general rule of thumb: the higher the start quality the higher the finish quality all things being equal along the path.
I'd use the best quality AVCHD and burn a regular DVD. Use 1440x1080i that is compatible with an FCE Easy Setup.

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

Recording with SB Audigy LS

I have an Audigy LS that works fine as far as playing audio or streaming audio over the Internet, but I can get Audacity to record either steaming audio or line-in audio. If I set audacity to OSS: /dev/dsp, the mixer tool bar doesn't even show up. If I set audacity to one of the ALSA settings, the mixer tool bar does show up, but it doesn't record. Audacity will also change the playback speed on any files I am already streaming.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the problems, but I read somewhere that this soundcard does not have hardware mixing. I also have to set IEC958 to mute in order to play audio files.
I would be willing to replace this card with either the M-Audio Revolution 5.1. or 7.1 if it would solve these problems. M-Audio has been recommend in this forum, but no one seemed to address the recording issue. I would be interested in any comments concerning the above problems or any experience recording with the Revolution sound cards. I would also be interested in any differences between the two cards other than 5 channels vs. 7 channels.
Thanks
Larry

I have a similar problem too. The problem is to do with the mic not turning on. If you press tab in alsamixer, it shows what the sound card will record and what volume settings for each input line. Yet for me, even with 100% volume on mic, i can not record because mic won't "turn on"
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44837
It's a real annoyance as this sound card worked worked really well in skype... not anymore.
I admit that I am not an audio guru which is partially due to the fact that things always worked. The joke is that I have an old SB Live (BUDGET) on my old computer which can record streaming audio and Line-in audio. This machine is also running Arch so its not the OS.
One of the best suggestions I've seen on this forum is to pick up an old SB on Ebay. It totally boggles my mind that such a mundane task should be such a problem. I may swap cards which is NOT the solution I wanted since I also use window on the old machine to run Replay Radio.
Good Luck

Recording problems with Audigy

In comparison with an integrated card i had (Soundmax) and one i purchased (Sb 6) but change it because of the lack of soundfont technology, the Audigy SE records (In this case, guitars through a mic) with a better quality, but the volume of the recordings are almost like i havent record anything at all, having the "Mic boost" option selected and the volume of recording all the way up. I have to crank the amp more than i usually do when recording to be able to hear anything, but it also sounds some "ssssss" in the recording.
The recorder that came with the Audigy have an option to clean the audio from this "SSSS" but when properly cleaned it sounds very rare and unnatural, and since i use cakewalk for multitrack recording it is useless for me.

This is probably the same driver bug I have.
Windows 7 64-Bit with 8 GB of ram.
I have contacted support about it.
So far I have just recieved the typical form letters (no support at all) from them.
Turn on listening and pay with the sampling rate for a bit.
Eventually you will get it clear by switch from on rate to another.
Annoying as all get out, but that is about all you can do until there is a driver fix.

Audio recording/editing

At the moment I am using Audio Hijack Pro (AHP) on my iMac to do scheduled recordings. I use Sound Studio to edit the recordings.
I am seriously thinking of moving over to the iPad to do all of my recordings/ audio editing. Is there anything on the iPad that will allow me to do what I do on my iMac?
I have a radio plugged into my iMac that I leave on all the time. I plug it into my iMac when need be and the record the shows I need to using AHP. I would love to be able to do something similar on an iPad.

I've tested this setup and it works...
You need to plug your radio into the Griffin iMic USB Audio Interface and that plugs in to the Apple's USB Camera Connector.
As for a recording apps... I used 'Voice Memo for the iPad' from the app store.
One drawback is the iPad will have to run on it's battery. As for audio editors for the iPad I have no ideas. You might find a recording app that has editing capabilities from the app store.

DVD Recorder & Editing in FCP Express

I would like to buy a DVD recorder to record local programs etc on TV.
And then I would like to edit in FCP.
Any suggestions on an inexpensive DVD recorder?
Thank you.

You will have to be careful here, on a number of fronts.
First, broadcast programs are for the most part copyrighted material. It's one thing to record a broadcast for the purpose of viewing the program at another time. It's another thing to record for the purpose of incorporating the copyrighted material into your own work.
Second, DVD recorders come with all sorts of capabilities and limitations, especially the cheap ones (say, the $99 noname specials at your local chain store). There have been problems with them not finalizing the DVDs properly, recording only in VR mode, or somehow else locked to the specific recorder. I'd suggest staying with a known brand - Sony, JVC, Pioneer, etc. (and not the bottom of the line models, either).
I'd also suggest not using DVD+/-RW media. Stick with a good brand of DVD-R or DVD+R media whichever your recorder supports.

Lost Record Feature on Audigy

I've been doing some reel-to-reel conversions with my Audigy 2 ZS card through the Line 3 input. It's been working fine for months until I put in a new ATI Radeon 9550 video card. Now I can hear the input through Line 3, but it records silence and shows nothing on the meters. I can affect the volume with the break-out box but can't get it to show any input on the WaveStudio.
My guess is that the Radeon has changed the file associations but I can't find any specific one that has not been changed back by me to Windows Media Player. The video card replaced a previous ATI on the same AGP slot and I've not had any problems with anything else. Nothing under Device Manager shows a problem. Running the Creative diagnostics shows everything normal. Here are system specs:
MSI Motherboard
Intel 4.7 Processor
GB RAM
4 HD's totaling 500 MB
Win XP Home
Thanks in advance for your help!
Scott

It is the best board for Soundblaster card queries, but you have to remember this is a peer-to-peer board. It could be no one else has experienced a similar problem, or has anything to add that might help.
If you need Support from Creative directly, help is available through the Support channels (phone and e-mail).
Did you check the mixer to make sure nothing was adjusted there? Is everything still set correctly in Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices?
